The heritage of this mighty nation is nothing short of awe inspiring. Every city that exists in India has some connection to its illustrious past that it still maintains.

A country that is the home of different forms of classical dance, music, art and various other forms of creative expression, if you love the finer things in life, then you’re bound to fall in love with India several times over.

Culinary Diversity

If one thing people remember, and that too remember fondly about India, is the food. Everywhere you go, you can treat your taste buds to something new and so flavorful that you won’t stop at just one bite. From Butter Chicken up north to the crispy Dosa’s down south, from the sweet Roshogollas of the east to the powerful punch of the Bombil Fry of the west, India is all about culinary diversity and exploring the length and breadth of the country means going on a gastronomical adventure unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. In India, first you eat and then you do everything else!

The People

When in need, you’ll always find someone who is willing to help you out. No matter where you are or from which part of the world you’re from, the great Indian hospitality never fails to live up to its expectations.

The people of India will teach you to worry less and to just go with the flow and what’s not to love about that!
